In Greek culture, the 'name' often refers to a 'name day', where a person celebrates the feast day of the saint they are named after rather than their birth date.
The word 'όνομα' (name) shares the same linguistic roots as the English word 'onomatopoeia', which describes words that sound like what they mean.
In ancient times, a 'name' was often considered a powerful essence, and certain naming customs were used to protect children from evil spirits.
